At its regular meeting, the Isanti City Council took the following formal actions.
Sandy Hills Rehabilitation Project assessment (J1) — Adopted (5–0). After a staff presentation from Jason Cook and public comment, the council adopted the assessment roll for the Sandy Hills Rehabilitation Project. The final assessable amount was reported as just under $800,000 with an average assessment of about $1,543 per affected parcel. Property owners have 30 days after recording to pay in full or may use a 10-year special-assessment payment plan at 4% interest; deferment requests (for people 65+, disabled veterans, or active military) must be submitted and approved by the council.
Certification of delinquent utilities (J2) — Approved (5–0). Staff presented the annual delinquent-utility assessment roll to be certified and forwarded to the county for inclusion on 2026 property tax statements. No public hearings on specific accounts were requested by the deadline; staff said they would clean up very small balances before certification.
Resolution on Minnesota paid-leave administration (K1) — Approved (4–1). Council approved a resolution to set the city's paid-leave percentage and to continue using Sun Life to administer the city's paid family and medical leave plan; the vote was 4 in favor, 1 opposed.
Final plat — Fairway Greens North, fourth edition (K2) — Approved (5–0). Staff presented a final plat from JPB Land LLC for 46 single-family lots. The planning commission had reviewed and recommended approval; the council approved the final plat and staff said a development agreement will follow.
Personnel policy amendment (K3) — Approved (4–0–1). Council considered and approved a personnel-policy revision that removes the "possession or use of a dangerous weapon" section; the motion carries as recorded (4 yes, 0 no, 1 recorded as abstain/not voting).
Agenda addition (procedural) — Approved to add K3 to tonight's agenda (3–2). At the start of the meeting the council voted to add item K3 as a late addition to the agenda; that procedural motion passed 3–2.
Consent agenda — Approved (5–0). The consent agenda was approved by unanimous vote.
Motion details: motions were moved and seconded as recorded in the meeting transcript (examples: the Sandy Hills assessment was moved by Council member Lundin and seconded by Council member Peterson).
